Tag: MGS Metal Gear Solid Teaser Big Boss e3

Hideo Kojima, director and producer of the Metal Gear Solid series, has a rather tantalizing teaser website with a countdown timer to June 1st. For the past couple of weeks, the site has been flashing the letters e, 3, 5/S, E, R, and P in randomized order. In the last day however, the site is now flashing an image of Big Boss (aka Naked Snake); the main character from Metal Gear Solid 3. So what the heck does this code mean? My guess, which will undoubtedly be wrong; “e3 PlayStation Exclusive Remake”. E3, being the electronic entertainment expo, where all the bigwigs of the gaming industry showcase their upcoming products, which is set to begin on June 1st. Among other things at e3, there is rumors that Sony will be announcing the next PSP, and/or the PS3 slim.

Maybe this will be a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 for the new PSP (which may not even exist). I’m not entirely a fan of remakes, they should be for something that wasn’t done right the first time, so hopefully I am completely wrong.

UPDATE: Well, Kojima now has added more to the tease. Along with the letters e, 3, 5/S, E, R and P, there is now a 6, C, and an O. Even more significant though, there is an image of what looks to be Raiden, rocking the prosthetic look like a champ. However, as far as we know, Raiden doesn’t have brown eyes, nor an eye patch, so who could this be? Judging from the brow line, it seems like it could be a girl.

UPDATE 2: Turns out there is going to be a PSP game with multiple snakes, and a PS3/360/PC game called Metal Gear Solid Rising.
Here is the trailer for Rising:
